Remember at the NFOA meeting when I said "get the gun out in time"?

Is that a bad thing? :-\

The rear--isn't great, but I can live with it. (Yes, I know, it is ALSO plastic. But it tends to run into things less, and most holsters don't touch the rear sight.) That stock front sight, though, gets thrown off the minute I get something else that isn't plastic.
Are you having significant trouble with the front sight height making your aiming point off? (I've used standard Warren Tacticals on four different Glocks now--34, 17, 19, and 26---and haven't had any issues with POA/POI differences, while just throwing the sights on and calling it good.)

The "file down" plastic front sight I'm referring to is another 10-8 product, designed to be a temporary install and sanded to fit so that the proper height can be determined. With the 10-8 rear sight (a nice rugged, 4140 damn near bulletproof hunk of steel with a great "shelf" built-in for one handed manipulations) the original (I think .215" front) shot high for me. I got a taller one but it's too tall.
I read that Glock sights generally print 2" high at 25 yds. I'd rather my POI be dead on there if possible. I like the "combat sight picture."
But never fear guys, I'm merely toying with the Glock. No matter what I try, it just doesn't give me that "where have you been all my life" feeling when I grip it. I think I could learn to live with it, if I had to... I guess.
But the CQB just feels like it belongs in my hand. :)

abbafandr...you are not privy to our history, Lorimor and me. He correctly believes that the 1911 is THE epitome of handguns for self defense. I for one happen to agree, although for the past 3 years my daily carry has been either a G19 RTF or G23 RTF. That being said, I continue to bust his chops because of his staunch and unrelenting beliefs (until now maybe ?). Furthermore, his wardrobe consists mainly of Thunder Ranch t-shirts, Ho Chi Minh flip flops and a WWCD (What Would Clint Do?) bracelet......and he's a fellow Navy ship mate....he just might cave in and sell me that worthless Wilson he owns too.....Did I mention he has a poster of the Columbus Police Chief above his bed?

Fixed that for you. :)

Because you prefer to carry a non-optimal pistol instead. :P
